I'm working on fixing my idle search. All new vacuum lines, plugs and wires. Car starts and runs smooth for about 1-2minutes, then the idle dumps and starts hunting up and down. My ECU knob was turned full clockwise by the PO. I turned it back to the factory setting.
Stock 2.0L 1973 car with Pertronix. Where should I look next? |
